An otherwise small warbler’s dull overall body suddenly shines due to their intensely yellow throat.

MEET THE COMMON YELLOWTHROAT

The common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas) is a small skulking songbird with dull olive backs, wings, and tails. This look is suddenly brightened by a luminous yellow throat, breast, and white belly. The adult male has a black facial mask bordered above and behind by a whitish-grey band, his belly is white, as is his rump.

Females are similar in appearance to the male, though they have paler underparts and lack the male’s black mask.

The Common Yellowthroat is the only migratory species in the yellowthroat group, and breeds over much of North America.

In its natural range, the Common yellowthroat can be found in bushes, rushes, and other low-cover areas beside marshes, pools, and streams. It can also be found in regenerating wooded areas, woodland edges, pastures, and roadsides.

These birds are mainly insectivorous, feeding in leaves for larvae of grasshoppers and beetles, etc. Though it will sometimes take seeds.

Common yellowthroats like to nest on or near the ground, this being the case they usually nest in a clump of grass, reeds, bullrushes, weeds, or low scrub. It’s a loose bulky cup shape made solely by the female with a variety of materials including grasses, sedges, bark, ferns, rootlets, and hair. It’s lined with fine black rootlets and fine grasses. She lays 3 to 5 brown eggs with black spots within, which she incubates for about 12 days. However, both parents tend to the young which leave the nest 8 to 10 days after hatching.
